Privacy policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

Your notes, reflections and reading progress belong in your own space. The app keeps them in local iPhone storage and does not upload them to us.

Meld Origins provides The Gita You Live. This policy explains the current app and its support pages. You can contact us at support@meldorigins.com.

What stays on your iPhone

The app stores your notes, practice choices, reflections, bookmarks, reading and listening positions, journey progress, language and voice preferences, and reminder settings in its local app storage. There is no app account or automatic journal sync.

We do not receive this content through normal app use. The app does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and does not request access to your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.

Audio downloads and these pages

Recorded Sanskrit, English and Hindi audio is downloaded from audio.meldorigins.com and cached on your iPhone for offline replay. The request identifies an audio file or catalogue, not your journal content.

Cloudflare hosts the public files and these pages. To deliver them and protect its network, Cloudflare processes connection information such as your IP address, requested URL, request time and technical request headers. Its operational and security logging is governed by its service settings and privacy policy. We do not use these requests to create advertising profiles.

These pages have no analytics scripts, advertising scripts or contact-form trackers. Audio files are excluded from the app’s iCloud backup. Optional iPhone narration uses Apple’s speech frameworks and installed voices.

Purchases and Apple services

Apple processes any in-app purchase and restoration through the App Store. The app uses verified StoreKit transactions to determine course access. We do not receive your payment-card information or App Store password. Apple handles account, payment, TestFlight and any opt-in platform diagnostics under its own privacy policies.

Restoring a purchase restores access to purchased content. It does not restore an erased journal or transfer your practice history between devices.

Reminders and sharing

Daily reminders are optional local notifications. Permission is requested when you enable a reminder, and its notification contains no journal text. You can turn reminders off in the app or in iPhone Settings.

When you choose Export or Share, iOS sends the selected text to the app or recipient you choose. That destination’s privacy practices then apply. Nothing is shared just by opening your notebook.

If you contact support

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. Our email provider processes the message so we can respond. Please avoid sending private journal entries, passwords or payment details. Include only the information needed to explain the problem.

We use support correspondence to answer your request and resolve problems. We retain it as needed for those purposes and applicable record-keeping obligations. You can ask us to delete correspondence using the contact address below.

Retention, backups and deletion

Local notes and progress remain until you remove them or reset local app data. You can export your practice first. Audio can be removed separately in Settings → Audio downloads. Deleting the app removes its on-device app data; offloading an app can retain that data.

iOS or computer backups may contain app data according to your device and backup settings. Those backups are controlled through Apple’s or your computer’s settings. We cannot access or recover your private notes from our servers because they are not stored there.

Questions and changes

For a privacy question, access request or deletion request relating to support correspondence, email support@meldorigins.com. Your local notes can be managed directly in the app.

If the app’s data handling changes, we will update this page and its date. New account, sync or analytics features would require an updated explanation of their data handling.
